Humane AI Pin: From Clumsy Launch to Tech's Wildest Dream
Originally Published 2 years ago — by Inverse
Humane, the company behind the Ai Pin, a screen-less device, faced criticism for a lack of information on how it works. Co-founder Bethany Bongiorno has since been sharing videos on social media to demonstrate its features, including the use of hand gestures and voice commands. While some users find the device clumsy and slow, others see its potential for specific user groups. Bongiorno believes in the future of voice-driven computing, although some have raised concerns about accessibility for those with speech impairments. The Ai Pin's voice assistant, Ai Mic, shows promise in understanding context and multitasking. The device can be connected to Bluetooth headphones and works well in a car. Humane aims to provide a new contextual computing experience without the need for traditional apps, focusing on AI capabilities and visual search.
